CoVid-19 / Army is deployed in Tirana streets as unruly citizens refuse to observe traffic restrictions

20/03/2020 18:04

The Armed Forces were today on the ground to observe the situation and assist the state police in enforcing traffic stop orders for all citizens as part of the measures taken against the CoVid- 19 epidemic.

Across the country, citizens are allowed to move only in two time slots 6.00 – 10.00 and 16.00 – 18.00.

These rules are generally enforced but there are also those careless and disobedient citizens who violate the order and go out on banned hours. For this reason the army went on the ground to assist the police.

With a convoy of armored vehicles, the Army Forces entered each district of Tirana, and will be divided into 5 different areas.

Any citizen who is found not to comply with the timetables and rules already made public, will be dealt with through administrative measures, i.e. fines.
